(2005) Brides of year 2005

yeap the corkage they agree to go back to contract price...

now discussing about the carpark charges with them... sickening...

my car park is only 30% last time when we want to bargain more, the hotel manager says no need cos they use machine stamping and thus 100% of the guests are entitled to free parking and we should see it as a perk which no other hotel can provide!!! now, they remove the machine and say we must buy coupon for our guest if not enough... and she charges me $4, she says yes the flat entry rate is $1.50 but the rest of the $$ goes to admin?????

dont know why this kind of people like that, you remove machine and now charges and means we need to pay, fine, i am willing to pay even $2 per coupon when the actual parking is 1.50... but $4 is absurd!
 


yo gers,

hi chillipadi: mi too had a wonderful wedding ;D

lots of compliments on my wedding gown, evening gown, makeup, wedding dinner etc... thumb up! ;)

Actually i was quite nervous on dat day and was worried dis and dat, becos it seems dat i hav lots of undone tings like..
1) wanna go for facial
2) spa
3) video clips etc..
altho e above tings was not done cos both of us was busy wif our new hse reno but everytings juz run smoothly on dat BIG day!! ;)
i told myself to relax and everyting will b over very fast.

Gers, relax and b a cheerful bride! ;)
 
full day meeting...... and so many post.... lazy to scroll up liao...
tonight i going for a mini wine tasting. My FSIL recommend me to this shop that sell the wine that Fullerton is using. Supposed to be good so go and taste and see how it is....
 
winnie...they change their machine is their business what... what they commit earlier they must fulfill...ridiculous leh... pay 4 bucks each... like that u have to pay for guests leh... its so much $
seriously u shld argue with them... they shld know wedding is not small $ thingy...how can last min when wedding is near come out so many crap charges... ask them charge flat rate of 2 bucks... dun care...or ask them give u more parking coupns if they still wanna charge 4 bucks... ask for 60%... heee
 
berry yah very sad, may i know what is the %% you gals getting?? did you ask the hotel what will happen if not enough??

actually i am just working out contigency plan, just in case not enough, but their charges so ridiculous...

and i dont dare to argue fiercely too cos my AD event still in their hands...
 
Hi deardear,

Really happy for u got a wonderful wedding.
happy.gif


Share with us your pics once ready....I still waiting for the day to come...as mine is on 27th Nov....
 
daphne sigh i also dont dare to blow big... the worse thing is i have a typo error on top, i am only entiled to 20% of the parking... not 30%

actually i thot it is ok to tell guest no more parking coupon, but my jie mei says it may be a bit rude.. wat do you gals think??
 
tink mine is 70%..

yup, abit paiseh to tell guests no more coupons.. no choice but hv to pay for them.. but i tink u shd nego for more percentage.. 20% too less liao..
 
winnie... my hotel give us 100% of the parking coupons... maybe becoz we got 25 tbles... not that much...
they give u 20% of the parking only? maybe complain to the GM or director.. u did have agreement regarding parking charges... even if they change to 4 bucks...by right they shld help u cover... not fiercely telling them but calmly let them know your situation...very unfair leh..
ok going meeting again...*poof*
 
daphne, yup, let us know how it is okie..

winnie, that's like a lot of crap they giving u lor. must argue all the way back.
mi car park free so i didnt hafta bother abt this clause. but when i was JM bef, car park usually based quite accurately lei, will even have left overs but def ur 20% is too little!!!

im so sleepy...yawn...
 
janf, you also think it is rude har... i think so too, my friend getting married in Nov says she does not care and she will just say no more... so i am doign a poll here to see what are the kind of reaction from you gals.
 
thanks gals for the quick response, my hubby is out station thus cant reach him, but i rem he has asked pan pac before about the purchase of coupon, thus i think he wants to handle that cost as well...
 
winnie, if im the guest and ppl tell me "no more coupon ah!", maybe i will grumble abit like "aiyoh, dun hv liao.." tats abt it lah. coz i went for my cousins' weddings, ran out of coupons, i heard their guests grumble.. so not tat nice ya..
 
janf, not so nice and they think we "giam" stingy right??

i just call the manager to tell her, i rem that during our last meeting she was the one who told me it is $2, so we thot it is ok to pay by ourselves now she says $4... but she ask me to give her some time to settle the Nov couples first before coming back to us... sigh, hope it goes well...
 
yalor winnie.. somemore urs at pan pac.. guests will expect pan pac hv some kind of std and expectations.. tell ppl no more coupons and they sure huh???
 
janf, yeah, mainly my tables are all relatives, they wont complain in front of you, they will gossip , hehe maybe years later, they still tell so and so, you know when i attend that wedding, they giam till did not even provide parking coupon... old people remember all these clearly one hehehe.

yukiee, new house ready? me juz select paints ytd.. me neighbour moving in this month end..

berry, me will be having tea ceremony in the ballroom loh.. from 6.00pm.. then 7.30 i will go change to my WG for 1st march-in.. so depends on how long it take for my tea ceremony.. cross my fingers no one late.. if they late, then i serve them tea after the dinner liao, keke.. oso gd excuse that frds cannot make my FH drunk cos still need to serve tea, haha.. i oso hope that i can be presence to welcome my frds but my hotel coordinator veri funni loh, say i dun have to be around, haha.. think i'll cry a lot on my AD..
 
Hi Daphne and Highness, like I messaged Highness, if you wish to just consider Cornerstone wines, and You really want a tasting I can help you. I know the people of Hock Tong Bee.

I'm a wine supplier myself, I cannot advise you what to buy, but there are more suppliers out there in the market. I can always advise you - no obligations. Just want to help. Because many people don't know much about this kind of stuff, so I hope to help
happy.gif
 
Highness, they do allow wine tasting and it's free wine tasting on a daily basis. I was recommended willowglen 04 too cos my FSIL used that for her wedding last year and apparently it was Fullerton's housepour wine but after trying out sacred hill 04, i prefer sacred hill though. i think cornerstone is the only supplier in the market so far for sacred hill cos i asked a few friends who knows someone who sell wine and they really don't carry that label. But still not sure whether to get that or not cos a bit on the high end though.

yean ching, where would you recommend instead and what type of wines? Roughly how much is considered as reasonable for wine?
 
Highness, just saw your pics... like your cheongsum gown & the styling... pretty & classy !! will be takign tat as tea-dress?

sorry gals, was super busy in office this 2 days, got no time to log in at all..

winnie, i'm not engaging Melvin. decided to save $$, got to come up with extra 400bucks if i wanna take him...$150 for 3looks in the evening quite 'wu hua' lor.. and u can trust melvin to give u a 3 real diff mei mei stylings..
btw, hope u can sort things out with your hotel soon... be firm but pleasant, i'm sure u can win the battle... good luck!!

as AD draws nearer realise theres lot of hidden cost.... those nitty gritty stuff tat u got to buy.. all $$$... haiz... stressed..
